BOC expects to use the proceeds to strengthen the bank s regulatory Tier 2 capital base and reduce asset and liability maturity mismatches.  The final rating is pending final documents that confirm information already received, including details about the amount and tenor. A full rating breakdown is provided at the end of this commentary.  The proposed debentures are rated one notch below BOC s National Long-Term Rating of AA+(lka) to reflect their gone-concern loss-absorption quality in the event of a liquidation, in line with Fitch s criteria for rating such securities. Key Rating Drivers  BOC s Long-Term Rating is driven by the government of Sri Lanka s high propensity but moderate ability to provide support to the bank under extraordinary circumstances. In Fitch s view, the state s high propensity to support BOC stems from the bank s systemic importance as the largest bank in the country, its quasi-sovereign status, its role as a key lender to the government and full government ownership. The state s moderate ability to provide timely support to BOC is reflected in the BB- /Stable rating. Rating Sensitivities  Any change in Sri Lanka s rating or the perception of state support to BOC could result in a change in BOC s National Long-Term Ratings. The subordinated debt rating will move in tandem with the Long-Term Ratings.
